30 days.
No Spotify. Only AI-generated music.
What I learned:
I didn’t miss artists. I missed shared choruses.
AI gives you control. Infinite variation.
But communal memory still hits harder.
Not rebellion.
Just upstream living.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This happened October 2019.
During Question Time the Danish Prime Minister informed the Parliament about the Government's purchase of 4 elephants and one camel from a circus. In order to give them a better life in a zoo.

I don't like cash.
In Barcelona, the pickpocketing capital of the world, cash draws all kinds of attention.
Cash is easily stolen, robbed, taken away from you, hence we pay a small per cent of the transaction to credit card companies to take care of that risk for us.
Should have done what he did.
4 years ago during Covid, Novak Djokovic was told by a journalist that almost 100% of all the pro professional Tennis players are now vaccinated, why are you still not getting vaccinated?
Djokovic response; ✊🏾

What if the country receiving the aid has a corrupt government?
Still, better than giving the money to NGOs.
BREAKING 🅱️: Major shift just dropped.
The U.S. government says foreign aid will now go straight to national governments, not routed through NGOs anymore.
The logic is blunt: if the goal is to help a country, fund the country — not middlemen turning aid into their next business model.
Do you support this?
YES or NO?
True. When I was a socialist, I too was a weak man. @Harvard, where I got my PhD, taught me to be as weak as I could: that's a politically correct thing to do.
Now, I see things clearer through the lenses of moral sentiment: people're driven by incentives, not ideologies.
I listened to @NPR for years until they have become a woke retarded and no longer a respectful journalism.
I agree that anonymity should not be allowed on the internet because bad people hide behind that to attack others cowardly. That's true.
But if the government wants to mandate it to put people in jail in an anti-free speech way? Then that's horrible.
A great satire.
My son asked for a PS5 for Christmas
I said no
“Son, PlayStation is made by an evil corporation built on worker exploitation”
I got him another electronic gift instead - an EU-approved USB-C cable
He opened it with visible disgust
Then something utterly shocking happened
My wife’s boyfriend Arnold got him the PlayStation my son wanted
“Thank you uncle Arnold” my son hugged him for almost a minute
I pulled my wife aside and explained that her lover is undermining our values
She mumbled “at least he got him a real gift”
The morning after, while my son was still asleep, I took his console and went to the store
Thanks to the wonderful EU consumer protection law, I was able to get a full cash refund of €549
Then I bought a gift for my son that he truly deserves
€549 worth of carbon offset credits
When I came home my son was crying looking for his PS5
I smiled and showed him the carbon certificate
He started shaking and cried even more
Being a good parent means teaching your child European values
And I know my son will thank me for it in the future
You’re a responsible man.
Freedom of speech?
Despite my undisputed and respected career as an expert counselor in mental health for 25 years, I was ridiculated, canceled and suspended on social media, as a professional, stripped of my income. I could have kept quiet ‘because I had to’ but chose to speak ‘because human rights and patient rights are more important’.
If you're doing it to make sure that everybody thinks before they post because whatever they post could be traced back to them.
But definitely no if it is to make sure that people don’t say anything the government doesn't want: that would be anti-liberalism.
The face of evil.
